虽然大家说不怎样,但GNOME下终于有了属于自己的Office了.:)
The GNOME-Office team is proud to announce the immediate availability of GNOME-Office 1.0. GNOME-Office is a suite of Free Software productivity applications that seamlessly blend with the GNOME Desktop Environment. GNOME-Office includes the AbiWord-2.0 Word Processor, GNOME-DB-1.0 Database Interface and Gnumeric-1.2.0 Spreadsheet.
AbiWord 2.0 aka "Mean Ant Blues"
AbiWord-2.0 is a cross-platform word processor that combines state-of-the-art usability, powerful Word Processing features, excellent interoperability with other Word Processors and many unique plugins that can be used to extend the program as needed. Among the new features in AbiWord-2.0 are: tables, footnotes, endnotes, mail-merge, database connectivity, revision marks and numerous server-side features such as command-line scripting. It features superb MS Word import ability as well as perfect import/export to Rich Text Format. Crowell Systems, suppliers of software and services to the Medical Industry, have installed AbiWord-2.0 on tens of thousands of seats.
Bill Crowell of Crowell Systems says, "The speed, ease of use, and customizability of AbiWord made upgrading our customers from Windows desktop to MfxLinux Desktop a do-able task. AbiWord is directly invoked by our server application for the users desktop and feeds the mail merge fields from our Database. It's interface is easier to use than Microsoft's mail merge, which consequentially eased our customer's transition to the MfxLinux Desktop dramatically."
GNOME-DB 1.0
GNOME-DB provides a unified data access architecture to the GNOME project. GNOME-DB provides a data-management API, offering easy access to data from a large variety of data providers including: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL Server, Sybase, Oracle, Firebird, IBM DB2 and mSQL databases as well as ODBC data sources, XBase, MS Access and SQLite files. The GNOME-DB application enables AbiWord and Gnumeric to integrate text and data from any of these databases into documents and spreadsheets.
Gnumeric 1.2.0 aka "Emb-Ext"
Gnumeric 1.2.0, GNOME's spreadsheet, is designed to be fast, compatible, and easily extensible. The latest release provides a comprehensive set of accurate analytics, including a solver, goal seek, iterative expressions and 100% coverage of MS Excel (tm) worksheet functions. There is also newly added support for encrypted xls files, Applix 5, PlanPerfect, Quattro Pro, and OpenOffice import.
Dr. B. D. McCullough, associate professor of Decision Sciences at Drexel University and a noted authority on the accuracy of statistical software says: " ersons who wish to use a spreadsheet to perform statistical analyses, and who are concerned about the accuracy of their results, are advised to use Gnumeric rather than Excel."
Morris Pearl, Columbia University. Former-head of Fixed Income Quantitative Research at UBS Warburg, says: "the many advantages of using open source software such as Gnumeric are quickly overtaking the one advantage of using Microsoft's proprietary Excel software, namely interoperability with other users of Excel."
